Enhanced fish detection sensitivity in aquatic systems using environmental RNA
Environmental RNA (eRNA) can potentially augment the biological monitoring ability of the established environmental DNA (eDNA) application in conservation. Despite faster degradation, environmenta...

🐟 monitoring can be non-invasive. 🐟💧 = eDNA + eRNA Check out this comprehensive perspective article on how eNA can improve fisheries monitoring without harming the fish! The aim is to move beyond species detection, from estimating abundance to capturing reproductive status and lots in between.

Very interesting thread on #eulachon below! Where do #eulachon actually go when they hit the ocean? 🐟 🌊, We used #eDNA to track their marine phase. Check it out. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Mapping the marine distribution of eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus) in the Northeast Pacific using environmental DNA - Communications Biology
This manuscript combines eDNA data with a statistical model to describe the spatial distribution of eulachon, a threatened smelt. DNA was positively associated with river mouths, offshore banks, warme...
